As I often do Homeoffice during the week, it’s easy for me to walk in the morning, during lunch, after work, or before bed. On weekends, we will either go hiking in the forest or end up watching a movie and playing catch on the couch (if it rains) :)

Information Ben T. would like to know about your pet

I prefer dogs that are more cuddly or playful. High or low energy is fine. Not a fan of dogs with long hair or slobbery dogs (licking is okay).

A typical day

Prefer to wake up after 7, but am easily convinced to get up earlier if a dog is around. Quick walk, work til lunch, lunch, lunch walk, work, dinner, bouldering, couch cuddle, quick walk, sleep (cuddling with dog preferred :) )

Pet care experience

Deutsch/English… This is really more of an opportunity for me to play with your dog, than for you to find someone to watch them ;) I would love to own a dog, but I must travel for work too often to have one. This gives me and the dogs an opportunity to have some fun together :) I enjoy cuddles, communication, and cantering through the forest. With a prime location near the Heiligenberg and a love for teaching tricks like ‘play dead’, you dog is sure to have a great time! I also love sending photos and videos as constant updates :)

Our dog Woody enjoyed a 5-night stay with Ben, and it was a great experience for everyone involved! Ben is very knowledgable about dogs and Woody felt comfortable with him right away. Ben also was great at communicating and sent a few pictures everyday. We loved knowing that Woody was in great hands and look forward to booking with Ben again!

Unser Hund Mathilda hat Ben sofort ins Herz geschlossen! Alles hat super geklappt — Ben ist sehr nett, unkompliziert und macht einen erfahrenen Eindruck. Wir hoffen, dass Mathilda bald wieder kommen darf! :-) Absolute Empfehlung!
